📢 Beyond F-1: New Visa Training + Why You Need to Plan NOW!

If you’re an international student in the U.S., the time to start thinking about your next visa is NOW—not when your OPT is about to expire or when you’re facing an immigration deadline.
The best way to stay ahead is to understand your options early, have a strategy, and be prepared to act when the time comes.
That’s exactly why I’ve added even more training inside the Ask A DSO Community and expanded the Beyond F-1: Other Visa Types module—to give you even more clarity, resources, and guidance on navigating the U.S. immigration system beyond your F-1 status.
Why This Matters for You
🔹 No More Last-Minute Panic – Many students wait until the last minute to explore their visa options, only to realize they don’t have enough time to prepare the right documents or build the right qualifications. Planning ahead gives you leverage.
🔹 More Control Over Your Future – The reality is that not everyone wins the H-1B lottery. But the good news? There are other pathways—and understanding them early means you can position yourself for success before you need to apply.
🔹 Flexibility & Backup Plans – Maybe the O-1 visa is perfect for you, or maybe an L-1 transfer could be your best bet. Having multiple options in mind means you can adapt to immigration changes and employer situations without scrambling.
What’s New in the Updated Training Module?
✅ O-1 Visa Guide – A clear roadmap on how to prove “extraordinary ability” and what makes a strong case.
✅ EB-1 & EB-2 NIW Strategies – Learn how self-petitioning for a green card works and whether you qualify.
✅ L-1 Visa Breakdown – How international transfers work and how you can set yourself up for one.
✅ TN Visa for Canadians & Mexicans – The fastest work visa option if you qualify!
✅ TPS & Special Student Relief – Options for students from certain designated countries.
✅ More Case Studies & Success Stories – Real examples of students who navigated these pathways successfully.
